Overview

This hands-on field workshop introduces hunters to saddle hunting in a controlled, low-risk environment. Participants will learn how to safely set up and use a saddle system while understanding when and where this method can be effective in real hunting situations.

All climbing will be conducted at low height (approximately 10 feet or less), with participants tethered and under direct supervision.

The focus of this course is safety, system familiarity, and building confidence before applying these techniques in the field.

What Participants Will Be Doing

Participants will work through the full saddle hunting process in a controlled setting, including:

• Learning saddle system components and proper setup
• Selecting appropriate trees and positioning for hunting
• Practicing safe climbing techniques at low height
• Using lineman belts and tethers for fall prevention
• Understanding shot positioning and movement from a saddle
• Discussing when saddle hunting is effective based on terrain and pressure

Throughout the workshop, we will emphasize safety, efficiency, and decision-making in real hunting scenarios.

Who This Is For

This course is ideal for hunters interested in saddle hunting who want to learn the system safely and correctly before applying it independently in the field.

Duration: 3–4 Hours
Location: Public land meeting site (details provided upon registration)
Investment: $100 per person

Smaller private group sessions can be arranged upon request. Pricing may vary depending on group size.

Overview

This hands-on field workshop is designed to help hunters locate and interpret turkey sign prior to the season and develop effective setup strategies. Participants will meet on public land and move through real habitat while learning how wild turkeys use terrain, feeding areas, and roost sites, and how their behavior differs between spring and fall seasons.

The focus of this course is practical application. By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify active turkey areas and develop a clear plan for approaching opening day with confidence.

What Participants Will Be Doing

Participants will move through a variety of habitat types while learning how to identify and interpret turkey activity on the landscape, including:

• Recognizing common turkey sign such as scratching, droppings, feathers, and tracks
• Understanding how turkeys use terrain, ridges, fields, and timber edges
• Locating potential roosting areas and identifying preferred roost habitat
• Identifying travel routes between roosting and feeding areas
• Discussing how pressure, weather, and hunting activity influence turkey movement
• Evaluating potential setup locations and approach strategies for spring hunts

Throughout the workshop we will discuss how these observations translate into practical decisions for scouting, calling locations, and positioning during a hunt.

Toward the end of the session, participants will apply what they’ve learned by identifying turkey sign and explaining how they would approach hunting the area.

Who This Is For

This course is ideal for new and intermediate turkey hunters who want to better understand bird movement, reduce guesswork, and approach the spring season with greater confidence.

Reading Game Sign & Advanced Scouting Strategy Workshop

Duration: 4 Hours
Location: Public land meeting site (details provided upon registration)
Investment: $125 per person
Division: Outdoors Skills

Smaller private group sessions can be arranged upon request. Pricing may vary depending on group size.

Overview

This advanced workshop combines digital scouting with in-field verification to help hunters move beyond guesswork and develop data-driven strategies. Participants will learn how to use mapping tools alongside real-world sign interpretation to identify high-probability deer movement areas before and during the season.

The focus of this course is connecting terrain analysis, wildlife sign, and wind strategy into a cohesive hunting plan.

What Participants Will Be Doing

Participants will learn how to combine digital scouting tools with real-world field observation to evaluate deer movement patterns, including:

• Identifying terrain features such as funnels, bedding cover, and transition zones using mapping applications
• Analyzing topographic features, habitat edges, and likely travel routes
• Predicting movement corridors before entering the field
• Verifying predictions by locating and interpreting deer sign on the landscape
• Understanding how hunting pressure and habitat influence movement patterns
• Developing wind-conscious entry, hunting, and exit strategies

Throughout the workshop we will discuss how digital tools and in-field observation work together to form a structured scouting approach.

Toward the end of the session, participants will select a location and explain how they would approach hunting the area based on terrain, sign, and wind conditions.

Who This Is For

This course is ideal for intermediate and experienced hunters who want to integrate digital scouting tools, terrain analysis, and advanced sign interpretation into a structured and strategic hunting approach.

Duration: 3 hours
Location: Field-based (public or private land)
Investment: $125 per person

Overview:
This workshop introduces hunters to saddle hunting in a controlled, low-risk environment. The focus is on safety, system setup, and understanding when and why saddle hunting can be an effective tool in your approach.

Topics Covered:
• Saddle system components and setup
• Tree selection and positioning
• Safe climbing techniques (low height, controlled environment)
• Tethering, lineman belts, and fall prevention
• Shot positioning and movement from a saddle

Overview

This hands-on workshop is designed to introduce youth to the outdoors in a safe, engaging, and educational environment. The focus is on building foundational skills, awareness, and respect for wildlife and natural systems.

A parent or guardian must be present for all participants.

Participants will learn how to observe and interpret the natural world while developing confidence moving through outdoor environments.

What Participants Will Be Doing

Participants will spend time actively exploring habitat while learning:

• Basic wildlife sign identification (tracks, scat, trails)
• How animals use different types of habitat
• Safe and quiet movement through the woods
• Awareness of wind, noise, and presence
• Introduction to hunting ethics and conservation principles
• Outdoor safety fundamentals

The workshop is interactive and designed to keep participants engaged while learning practical skills.

Who This Is For

This course is ideal for youth who are new to the outdoors or looking to build confidence and understanding in a hands-on setting, with guidance from both an instructor and parent/guardian.
